Letaba Camp

Letaba Camp Overview

Letaba is a beautiful rest camp located on the spectacular Letaba river, ideally situated midway between the southern and northern boundaries of the Kruger Park. With semi-tame bushbuck gently grazing on the lush camp’s lawns, and an abundance of bird life flitting between the many tree branches above, this camp is a truly unique and relaxing way in which to experience the park.

The area surrounding the camp has gained a reputation as being particularly well populated with a wide selection of wildlife, with the sandy riverbed of the Letaba river serving as a superb backdrop for game viewing. It’s not surprising, therefore, that this camp has built up a firm following from regular visitors to the park, and is often booked up well in advance during the peak periods.

Game Viewing:

Many spectacular sightings have been recorded in the region, and sightings of the larger mammals area feature in and around Letaba.

Common in the area: Elephant, buffalo, bushbuck and waterbuck, wildebeest, waterbuck and brown snake eagle.

If you are lucky you may see: Lion and cheetah's which are also resident in the area.

Accommodation:

Letaba is one of the park’s larger rest camps, and offers up a wide selection of accommodation options, including a camp site, five three-bed huts with communal ablution facilities and kitchens, twenty fixed safari tents, ten six-bed guest cottages, as well as eighty rondawels, which offer single-room bungalow style arrangements.
